Standardization (also known as normalization) is the process of converting an input address into a format that adheres to USPS standards. These standards define a ruleset for how each component of an address should be formatted. Some of these standards are stylistic preferences (e.g. ALL UPPERCASE is preferred) while others are more prescriptive rules.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Address Autocomplete is a website\/app feature that suggests addresses to a user as they attempt to enter one. Many autocomplete systems will leverage the user\u2019s geolocation to serve only the most relevant suggestions. For example, typing \u201c123\u201d while in Boston can start to show you valid Boston addresses that have that street number rather than show you addresses in San Francisco. Importantly, autocomplete only suggests addresses that are known to be valid.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Geocoding is the process of converting an address into a coordinate (coordinates are commonly referred to as \u201cgeocodes\u201d). Many geocoding systems can also go a step further and determine the coordinates of place names like \u201cThe Grand Canyon\u201d where a set address may not exist. There are typically a few different levels of geocoding depending on your desired degree of precision.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When we talk about physical locations on the globe there are typically two ways of identifying them: addresses and coordinates. An address is a discrete identifier, usually for a building or specific plot of land. For example, you can go to 123 Main Street or 124 Main Street but there probably is no valid address between them. Valid addresses are typically maintained by the government in which they exist. A coordinate, however, is continuous and agnostic to political boundaries. Coordinates are represented by latitude and longitude values, where the latitude specifies the north-south position (-90\u00b0 to 90\u00b0) and the longitude specifies the east-west position (-180\u00b0 and 180\u00b0). When put together, these coordinates can specify an exact location anywhere on the surface of the Earth regardless of whether or not that location is a valid postal address.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) Code is a code assigned to specific geographic regions in the United States – this code is used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to sort and deliver mail more effectively.<\/p>

ZIP Codes are tied to addresses and, like addresses, are distinct. This means that where one ZIP Code ends another begins without any transition area. Also, there are some large areas in the US without any addresses and so those regions are not applied to any ZIP Code. These areas without ZIP Codes are mostly located in Alaska and desert regions in the Southwest region of the US.<\/p>

Most people are familiar with the basic 5 digit ZIP Code – you use this when you enter your address into a website to order a pizza or get a delivery from Amazon. These 5 digit ZIP Codes are usually applied to one specific post office. This makes the sorting process much easier for USPS employees; they don\u2019t need to spend time looking for which Post Office in Atlanta delivers to a particular street because they have a ZIP Code to tell them. Using a ZIP Code is not strictly required to deliver a piece of mail, but it will substantially speed up the delivery.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

FIPS codes are unique 5-digit geographic place codes applied to states, counties, and certain areas of possession within the United States. The acronym, \u201cFIPS\u201d, stands for Federal Information Processing System and was established in the early 1970\u2019s by the Government agency, NIST. NIST, which stands for \u201cNational Institute for Standards and Technology\u201d, created FIPS codes to establish government mandated industry standards. These codes were used between government agencies and other technical organizations to ensure consistency and uniform practice. These codes have evolved over the years from a digit structure standpoint and the current FIPS codes being utilized are the FIPS 5-2 (state codes) and the FIPS 6-4 (county codes). These codes were dropped in 2008 by the NIST and replaced with INCITS 38-2009 for the 5-2 code, and INCITS 31-2009 for the 6-4 code. The FIPs codes are still used by numerous federal organizations across the United States.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most of the time when you put a letter in the mail the only notification you will receive is from the recipient saying \u201cHey, I got your letter!\u201d But what if you have something important or valuable to send, and you want to make sure that it arrives safely?
